Enjoy your night out, DG. Thanks for all your hard work, and looking forward to the fruits of your labors!

Thought I'd also mention to everyone that they have started pushing the ota update for the nexus s. Just thought I'd throw the info out as it may be a help to the ongoing ics work here and they already have a few people who are hosting the ota package already over in the nexus s dev section.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
hey guys, i really like your rom , very fast but i cant get access to my external sd card.

when i select setting, then storage.. it FC..

any help?
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
If you use an app like root explorer, in the root, open EMMC and that is your external SD.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
great ,i can find it now, but how i can play my music that is located on the external sd card,...? .. or pics?
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
They should automatically load into to Gallery or Google Music [or which ever music app you use].
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
No, they dont.. when i open gallery i cant see my pics (store on the external sd card ) or when i open music, still the same, it shows no music, eventogh i have lots of music storage on the ext sd
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Which version of ICS are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
ICS 4.0.1 r1 Beta 2.. i downloaded from the first page. and Designgear's Captivate Beta 2 Kernel ..
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
I am uploading Beta 2 Build 2 that was on the Google Code page awhile back [not there anymore]... it is what I am using and have no problems with my media showing up where it needs to be. It will take me about 15 - 20 mintues to upload. I will post the link when it is done. You can use the same kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
Great thanks so, i need to reflash , wipe cache and factory reset is necesary ?

also, so flash rom first then kernel later ? .. o just the rom ?

thanks for you great help ..i love the ICS on my capy..

Also i think i found a bug ... i wanted to charge my phone when it s off.. so i turn it off, connect the plug but the phone turns on by itself ..

are you having this?

thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
It is known problem that if you turn off the phone, plug it in to charge, it will come back on.

Flash instructions...

Boot into CWM

Flash kernel

Wipe data and partition cache

Flash ROM

Flash kernel again

Boot up and let the phone rest for a few minutes.

Download from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TPD86V80

Any problems, just ask.
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
Is anyone else getting errors on some market items saying package not signed correctly? How do you fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
hey guy, i followed the instructions ..great flash .. it only took 3 minutes to boot up ..however , it says the phone it not rooted even the super user is there..

i tried to restore all my info using titanium backup but it ways the phone is not rooted..

i rebooted and still the same.. do i have to reboot again or activate something before?

thanks btw, i can access to my sd card again

EDIT: SORRY ABOUT THE ROOT, IT WORKS .. thanks i will test it today

what is the difference between beta 2 and beta 2 build 2
[Captivate Android Development] rahlquist:
Holy crap a dev who updates us on his schedule will wonders never cease?
[Captivate Android Development] Mongostylor:
ics for Nexus S is out! Does that mean we will be seeing an 4.0.3 beta with working video soon? Would be awesome. Keep it up guys. Love your rom.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
-_- thanks for reading the thread
[Captivate Android Development] Hunter_x2:
I'm using the beta 2 ROM, but the Home and Search button are both inactive. Does anyone having this? Also, i couldn't install Flash Player 11 from the Market, it said that my phone isn't compatible with it.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Install the captivate kernel and rom not the i9000 one. from the downloads page.
[Captivate Android Development] SBcaptivate:
Installing groupon from market shows its not valid for this device..is it the case for others too?
[Captivate Android Development] squishy5:
not to be mean but its funny beta 2 icons are too small but beta 2 build 2 are too large

IM NOT COMPLAININ THE WORK DONE HERE BY the devs are amazing and for devs like DG to come back is even better.
[Captivate Android Development] caulton:
idk if i missed it or not but what changed in beta 2 build 2?:confused:

is it the same as flashing beta 2.5.5 with Designgear's kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Beta 2 Build 2 was released awhile back on the Google Code page, it fixed a lot of issues, but took out some of the Google apps [i.e. Maps, Earth, etc.]. I have been running it for some time now, and I tried 2.5.1, but had nothing but problems with it. So I went back to Beta 2 Build 2. I am also using the Beta 2 Captivate kernel, but I am sure that DG's would work also. The dpi on Beta 2 Build 2 was auto set at 240, but this can be changed easily. I have noticed that if you have a smaller dpi though, it makes some apps/LWP's not work.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

I am pretty sure that 2.5.5 is Teamhacksungs ROM. As for explination of Beta 2 Build 2... read above.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
sooooon o_0
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
the new build 2 beta 2 works great, fast and i am very impressed .. i never have a fast capy .. but 2 things now we need to improve ... battery life is really bad, after 5 hours i only have 20% left.

and i cant charge the phone when its off.. it turns on by itself when i plug the charger if it is off..

thanks guys for the hard work
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
This rom doesn't drain battery abnormally, re-calibrate it or stop using it so much :P

And not charging while off is a known issue I believe, should be fixed eventually, does its low priority.
[Captivate Android Development] Hunter_x2:
I already used the Captivate kernel in the first place, but it didn't work. But before flashing it, i did a normal boot with the beta 2 ROM's integrated kernel (just to check). So is it wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
Cannot see beta 3, still uploading?

Really excited.:)

EDIT: Sorry read OP, it's still uploading and awaiting root from chainsdd.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
Beta 3 is up!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
root is still busted! just fyi, chainsdd is working on it
[Captivate Android Development] Boldizzle:
Can we just use one of those Super OneClick programs to get root back?
[Captivate Android Development] Maroon Mushroom:
Well damn, think I just soft (hopefully) bricked my captivate.

Recovery is completely busted. Every time it boots it shows the ICS SGS loading bar, puts it in recovery, throw a few errors quickly, then reboots.

And loops.

What would be the best way to fix this? Sorry, I haven't touched my captivate for months until I saw that there was an ICS port haha
[Captivate Android Development] caulton:
all u have to do is reflash the rom and reboot, problem should be fixed:D
[Captivate Android Development] Maroon Mushroom:
That's the problem. It can't boot into recovery lol

Edit* Somehow managed to get back in.

I missed this phone :P
[Captivate Android Development] tx12345:
Found this in the I9000 thread, flashed this for root. Worked for me. Credits to original uploaders/posters.

[Captivate Android Development] yohannrjm:
If you tried to boot into recovery from the menu, that doesn't seem to work (for me) - the button combo works fine.

I was excited to see the recovery option in the menu. It's a convenience I missed.

However, this version is looking great so far.

---------- Post added at 06:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 AM ----------

Seems to work for me too. I wonder if the superuser fix that was posted with this ROM (since removed from the download page) would work too. I can upload it, but it's not my work.
[Captivate Android Development] Hunter_x2:
Great thanks! Everything is perfect. But why do you replaced the stock ICS music app?

Also, when i flashed the ROM, root access already existed. I could install Root Explorer and SU 3.0.6 easily :)
[Captivate Android Development] Mongostylor:
downloading...

is there a new Kernel integrated in the rom or is it still the beta 2 Kernel? Are there any issues so far which could be avoided by wiping before flashing Beta 3 over beta 2? I guess if I don't have to wipe I will give this a try even if root is not working for a couple of days. Thanks for the work. Btw, is this now based on the Nexus S ICS ?
[Captivate Android Development] Hunter_x2:
I believe the integrated kernel is Designgears's modified beta 2 kernel.

Also, in my last post, i forgot to mentioned something: At first, the Superuser app did FC in my phone, plus my problem with the Home and Menu button from the beta 2 still existed. That made me went to recovery, used all 3 wipe options (factory reset + partition + dalvik), and the two problems above were all solved!

Please test if you can solve the root problem using less than 3 wipes.
[Captivate Android Development] yohannrjm:
You may not have had to do a full reset because of the Superuser FC'ing. Sometimes, a clear data on the app works as well. At least, that's what worked for me. :)
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
Do any alternate modems work with this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] Hunter_x2:
Indeed, but i also had a trouble with the touch buttons, and it freaked me out. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Rabidaries:
Just flashed new beta, first thing I noticed is my mail stopped working and fc'd (gmail and email app says not installed)
[Captivate Android Development] BoldFace:
I reflashed and cleared davlik and it fixed my email issue. however I can't use gmail or maps since beta 3. Maps doesn't install and gmail went missing...

Also the stock keyboard's dictionary seems to missing words. It highlights correctly spelled words.
[Captivate Android Development] Rabidaries:
Ya my gmail disappeared as well. And my keyboard thinks everything is mispelled as well lol
[Captivate Android Development] Vindolanda:
Overall the update is a bit smoother but here's a list of issues I've been having (some overlap with previous posters):

-Apps not able to be installed via Market (Like Maps or Google Earth)

-Different facets of ICS missing (e.g. Live Wallpapers, Stock Widgets, and other Google Apps)

-Stock keyboard underlining correct/corrected words

-Exchange Accounts still not connecting to server (either in email or account)

That's a broader bit. What's been troubling me most is probably specific to my computer: I cannot get my phone's sd card and internal storage recognized. Previously, it had the Camera or Media Player options, but that no longer appears. Now it's like connecting an iPod, only showing DCIM and Pictures -- the device is named "Full Android on Aries." But I do have adb access under the usual "Samsung Android ADB Interface" (USB Debugging still appears and is enabled). I've tried different Samsung drivers and this is the most progress I've had to getting it back to normal.

If anyone has any suggestions how to restore full file transfer and some of the stock widgets and live wallpapers, I'd dearly appreciate it. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Rabidaries:
I flashed back to 2.5. Best build for me so far. My batter drained fast with 4.0.1 update and not having Gmail and keyboard problems were just little things but still. The only difference I saw was I could see my internal storage. Loving the development. Its the reason j came back to my ol cappy
[Captivate Android Development] cjd80:
same issues for me too, unfortunately:

- dictionary thinks all words are misspelled

- gmail was missing (restored via TiBu)

- Browser says "app not installed"

- missing ICS live wallpapers

- so far I haven't been able to get a network connection, either. APN settings appear to me present and correct, however. I've tried a couple different modems, and no luck with any of them.
[Captivate Android Development] ronii1123:
I think I found an issue in Beta 3, couldn't change my brightness no matter what so I'm returning to stock and gonna check if it changes
[Captivate Android Development] terra-starr:
Gmail and maps were not installed for me either.

Maps loaded from market and I loaded a modified gmail, which works minus the widgets.

Also, under setting the only sync options for accounts listed are email and contacts, however the calender is syncing, but my bookmarks are not.

Love the progress.

[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
It seems it would be helpful if there was a list of known issues. Especially if you have a problem with people reporting their experiences with the new builds.

Other than that it just seems that you have a problem with everything. Everywhere I see you post it's always you crying about something someone posted. You the xda forum police or somethin brah?

Here's an issue I've noticed that I haven't seen mentioned at all.

Ever since Beta 2 I've noticed that the ROMs contrast settings are low. Images appear slightly "white washed" compared to GB. The contrast needs to be bumped up a little. If you look closely at certain images you'll notice that they appear slightly too bright which is causing a slight distortion in the image exposing pixelation and other flaws that a little contrast would normally hide.

The low contrast is also clearly visible in live wallpapers.

I have yet to try Beta 3 though...

Thanks to those who have pointed out the issues they're having I think I'll wait it out. I was unaware of these issues and had not seen the list of known issues that you seem to have exclusive access to.
[Captivate Android Development] cjd80:
i think b-eock is just confirming for us so we aren't sitting around wondering if we individually messed something up. personally, i found it helpful.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
For the contrast issue, use the voodoo app to set the gamma values.

I am just informing him that is known, BTFO!

Just flashed Beta 3 over Beta 2. Now I'm trying to get back into either recovery or download mode using button combos but it's not working. Suggestions?

These are right?

Volume up + menu

Volume down + menu + power

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Volume up+ power for recovery volume down+power for download
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
I believe the correct method is -

Phone off -> Volume up + Volume down + Power -> Hold until carrier logo screen appears, then release.

Kernel logo screen should appear and then CWM should initiate.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Correct for I897 bootloaders

[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
About the contrast issue... I know it's petty but it's been a little thorn in my side for a while. It makes my wallpapers look very low quality.

Anyway... So I downloaded Voodoo Control. It only allows for altering Voodoo Sound. No screen adjustments at all.

I'm on ICS Beta 2 with DG's Beta 2 Kernel.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Downloaded this kernel, no voodoo either. Np, I've got 3 kernels for this, one had voodoo, but it's not a deal breaker for me. Thanks

I am having issues with the market crashing while downloading apps. I see that this was "fixed" in an earlier version. Is there something extra I need to do to fix this on my end? I tried rebooting several times and even reflashing.

EDIT: I am also getting a "Low on Space" message. It says my phone storage is getting low, but I have over 1.5g available. My USB storage also has 9.5g available. I tried rebooting and the message comes back.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
I have the exact same issue, the rom is working amazingly but maps and gmail are gone. Flashing gapps will bring back gmail but not maps unfortunately. But these are known issues and will be fixed once the devs figure it out. Which should be pretty soon i believe.

[Captivate Android Development] mepis:
Just curious if the newer builds will be uploaded into the code page or hosted someplace else? I noticed the 2.5.5 was from another forum thread and Beta 3 is from Posnak's site. Ultimately I just want to know where to download the builds from and where to check every now and then.

Also I read a post that the 2.5.5 build is Teamhacksung's build? Can anyone confirm this, or where it came from? I believe it was in the GT-I9000 thread.
[Captivate Android Development] yohannrjm:

as i say, i know it says in the OP that i've done something wrong... but is anyone else experiencing network connection issues?
